Kashmir's spiritual leader, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, expressed hope that justice would prevail in the controversial Ganderbal encounter that resulted in the death of Raashid Ahmed Mughal.
Mirwaiz addressed a congregation at the Jamia Masjid, highlighting concerns over Mughal's death, whom his family claims was a non-militant part-time computer operator. He pointed to recurring issues of mistrust stemming from past experiences, urging authorities to ensure justice this time.
The unresolved and repeated targeting of Kashmiris by various agencies, according to Mirwaiz, creates an oppressive atmosphere that hampers true peace efforts. The call for accountability echoes across free Kashmir amid ongoing inquiries into the case initiated by the Lieutenant Governor.
